Fairy Tail
Chapter 140: Low-Gear World
[Card:]
Hibiki Laytis (20)
Magic: Archive
Likes: All Females
Dislikes: Bugs
[/Card]
Notes:
Consistently places highly in Weekly Sorceror's "Mage I'd Like As A Boyfriend Ranking". It seems that he's the reason so many female mages apply to join Blue Pegasus. "Archive", in addition to allowing him to compress information into magical data and send it to a target party, also has information management and practical combat applications. He's not interested in any particular girl, but the rumours fly fast and furious nonetheless. There are eighteen other (unconfirmed) legends surrounding him, as well.

[Insert text: The situation doesn't look good at all!]
Racer: Hmm?
[Insert text: Is Leon about to go wild?!]
Gray: ...What?!
Leon: You heard me.
Gray: !!
Leon: So I don't need you!!!

3
Racer: !!!
Cherie: Leon-sama!!!
Gray: Leon!!!! // Why, you...!
Leon: You just stay there and watch.
Racer: Fighting amongst yourselves?
Leon: Don't get me wrong, okay? // I'm not this guy's pal or anything. // We happened to study under the same master. // That's all.

4
Cherie: But, Leon-sama......
Leon: No complaining!!! Lamia Scale is taking the glory here! Let's do this, Cherie!
Cherie: O... Of course!!!
Racer: Dear, dear... // Your overconfidence is about to lose you this battle!!!! // Though no matter... it's not like you had any chance in the first place!!!!
Cherie: Wood Doll!!!!

5
Racer: Too slow!!!!
Cherie: Ahh!
Leon: Over here!!!
Racer: Slow, slow, slow!!!!

6
Leon: Your fatal weakness is that you have practically no offensive ability. // It doesn't matter how fast you are if you don't have the power to take your opponent down. // Ice Make: Hedgehog!!!!
Racer: Wha - ?!!
Leon: What's wrong? Use that speed you're so proud of and come get me!
Racer: ......

7
Racer: By all means.
Leon: !!! // Guahhh!
Racer: You really thought I'd use my full power from the get-go against nobodies like you?

8
Racer: Where d'you think you're going?!!!
Leon: Guahhh!
Cherie: Leon-sama......
Racer: Aw, c'mon... what happened to all that attitude?!

9
Leon: Ughh! // Uughhh!
Cherie: H... How far is he going to take this...?!
Leon: Ngh... // Aghh... // Guaaaahhhhhhh!

10
Leon: Aghhh... // !!!
Racer: You said I don't have the power to take my opponent down? // All that I need to do that is a simple knife. // With the speed I possess, I can slice your throat open before you have the chance to cast a single spell. // Now, it's nice to be able to get hot-headed and overconfident at your age, but you picked the wrong opponent. // I'm an Oración Seis.

11
Leon: *pant* / *pant* // *pant*
Racer: Six demons. Six prayers. // Six pillars that can never fall. // Those who seek to disturb those pillars... // ...find only death.
Leon: I knew... it...
Racer: ?
Leon: When I saw the birds in the distance flying at an incredible speed... / ...I got the feeling... I'd figured out the secret of your magic.
Racer: ?!
Leon: Your magic doesn't allow you to increase your own speed at all. // It slows down the sensation of time for your opponent... or rather, for everyone within a specific radius.

12
Leon: In other words, all you've been doing is slowing me down. // And since your magic's range is limited, the moment someone sees you from outside that range... // ...Your speed is stolen away.

13
Racer: Wha - ?! // Y... You separated me from him on purpose, so that...?!
Gray: ...Suddenly everything looks crystal clear.
Racer: But from that outrageous distance...!!! He can't possibly hit me!!!
Leon: He will. // When the members of Fairy Tail... // ...are trying to accomplish something they really care about... // They're unstoppable.

14-15
Racer: (My prayer... // ...to be... // ...faster than anyone...) // GUAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

16
Gray: We did it, Leon.
Leon: Ugh... we have to deal with five more guys like that...?
Cherie: You two... I really thought you'd fallen out for a moment there!
Gray: That's my fellow student for ya.
Leon: Hah.
Gray: Can you stand?
Leon: You making fun of me?
Racer: I'M NOT DONE YET~~~~!!!!

17
Racer: As a member of the Oración Seis!!!! // I cannot allow myself to suffer defeat!!!!
Gray: Explosive Lachryma?!!!
Cherie: He's not - ?!
Gray: Shi -
Racer: A life for a life!!!!
Gray: Leon!!!!
Cherie: Leon-sama!!!!
Leon: Honestly... you just can't do anything without...

[no text just the classic Oda Clone Test: if Leon survives that, then Mashima gets one Oda Clone Point. If Leon and Racer survive that, he gets ten Oda Clone Points. If neither survive, all Oda Clone Points are confiscated, and he goes to Jail, directly to Jail, without passing Go, and without collecting two hundred Oda Clone Points.]

19
Gray: LEO~~~~~~N!!!!
Blaine: Ngh... // Racer is...... // ...dead... // One of the six demons has fallen...? // Ahhhh... // It seems I underestimated these enemies...

20
Blaine: To think they would force me to awaken him... // Midnight!!! // Eliminate every last one of them!!!!
Midnight: Very well. // Father.
